FILE SETUP

GRAPHIC GUIDELINES

- Please follow all template instructions including safe areas (contact us for templates)

- Build art files at 100% scale (ACTUAL SIZE)

- 75-125 PPI (See templates for resolution)

- CMYK, use Pantones if available (Solid Coated).

- DO NOT Place crop marks on top of artwork. Place on outside of artwork.

- Convert all text/fonts to curves

- Convert all lines to paths

- Delete template guidelines before saving print files or place on separate non visible layer

- Please supply Proof/Mockup for reference when possible

FILE SAVING:

- Print-ready PDF's are preferred.

- Raster files can be supplied as Flattened Tifs

- AI, EPS, JPG, PSD (LZW Compression) files are also acceptable if required

TIPS:

- Create GRADIENTS in Photoshop and Add noise to gradient to mitigate banding

- Create DROP SHADOWS & TRANSPARENCY EFFECTS in Photoshop to avoid issues

- When saving in Photoshop, use LZW Compression

- When saving very large files in Illustrator, de-select "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities"

Note that colours on monitors will differ from screen to screen. Please supply Pantones or a colour proof if colour matching is required.
